Slate, stone and weather in Free State
Free State homes face cold, frosty winters and hot, stormy summers, which is hard on outdoor stone. Frost lifts poorly bedded paving and cracks tiles laid on weak screeds, so flexible adhesive, a full bed and movement joints matter. Hail damages roof slates and tiles across the open plains. Bloemfontein has older sandstone and Victorian-era houses, while farmhouses and guest lodges use slate and stone cladding on verandas and fireplaces. Tile shops, paving yards and builders' merchants cluster in the larger towns, and delivery to farms and smaller towns is routine.
Typical slate patio and paving installation requests in the area come from:
- Suburban homes: back patios, stoeps and braai areas, plus garden paths and entrance steps
- Farms, lodges and wine estates: large stoeps, lapa floors and garden paths around farmhouses, lodges and wine estates
- Older and heritage homes: verandas, stoeps and garden paths in older gardens, with slate that suits the house
- New builds and developments: patios and paths laid at the end of the build, once levels and drainage are set
- Restaurants, hotels and offices: restaurant terraces, hotel courtyards and garden walkways that carry plenty of foot traffic
- Townhouses and complexes: small private courtyards and patios, within what the body corporate allows
